[okfn-labs] Operations and engineering at Netflix

Wed Jun 27 23:00:06 UTC 2012

Dear all,

Yet another interesting tidbit from around the web which talks about
the changes that happened in the Netflix engineering team that
occurred when they moved their services "to the cloud".

Of particular interest (to me at least) are:

- service oriented architecture -- Nf moved from a monolithic java app
to hundreds of small services, each with their own deployment schedule
- pushing responsibility for service uptime into development teams
- investing additional engineering capacity into building automation
and test tooling

Best,
N
